[Keith]

Both had good reigns, and the title did help build them up to main event level, but Flair just had more classic matches, and his reigns came at a time where the title meant much more, at least his early reigins did.

 

[The New F'n Show]

Went with Flair as well. His reigns lead to the dominant NWA title reigns.

 

[Troy]

I voted for Ric Flair. Did more as champion during his title reigns than Eddie did.

"Naitch" moves on.
